If NIFL is to support adult education practitioners with the field's "best practices", how does this impact our work, especially as it concerns technology? In a recent conversation with a legislative aide, apractitioner reported that the aide said "that he didn't necessarily see 'researched-based' [practice/teaching] as a problem [for adult literacy practitioners], as he put it, 'that means you just have studies showing that what you do works, and you don't just go doing whatever you want to do'." What if "whatever we want to do" involves enhancing reading instruction with technology training, as in my program? There has been a thread of conversation about reading and the Internet. What direction do you see NIFL taking? Do you see limits to your practices here?
